So I'm going to build a computer in the near future and I need to know if all the parts I have in mind are any good. Please feel free to suggest other products, as I know nothing about computers.

Case: LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII ($130)

Motherboard: ASUS P5W DH DELUXE ($209)

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz ($313)

Memory: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB ($332)

Video Card: EVGA 8800GTS 320MB ($300)

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite ($255)
(I know $255 is pricey for a sound card but the box it comes with will be really useful when I connect my computer to a home theater receiver. Also the speakers I'm using right now does not have volume control)

Then get rid of the raptor and just run two seagate barracudas 7200.10 in RAID 0 and you will see pretty much the same performance for a lot cheaper.

That sound card is a really good one but are you an audiophile? I believe it's the best one you can get and there are others with pretty much the same quality for cheaper. It still might be a good idea though to go all the way since sound cards last fro a while so you can ignore me on that one.

Take the money saved from the ram and the raptor and upgrade yourself to a nice 8800GTX.
